Stand-alone test program to try and exhibit failure (686 bytes, patch)

Description The Written Word 2004-12-20 03:18:08 UTC 
The two processes started by tests/child-test go into <defunct> state on HP-UX
11.x and IRIX 6.5. I tracked this down to the addition of the SA_RESTART flag in
glib/gmain.c. Removing this flag causes child-test to succeed. Unfortunately, I
have no idea why. Solaris, Tru64 UNIX, and AIX work fine with SA_RESTART.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2004-12-20 14:42:12 UTC 
Hmm, we probably need someone with access to these platforms to find out
a) if we can make SA_RESTART work there
b) if omitting SA_RESTART is an acceptable fix

Stand-alone test program to try and exhibit failure

How about a small stand-alone program that tries to reproduce the problem? I
tried with the attached program but it doesn't fail.
